A new car insurance policy has been introduced by More Than, designed especially for female drivers.
As part of the promotion for it, More Than Insurance are including a number of rewards and discounts with big name high street retailers. They have also built in key options that are well suited to the needs of female drivers. These include prioritized roadside assistance, a replacement vehicle provided within 2 hours, female friendly garages and up to GBP3,000 of cover for handbags and their contents.
A More Than car insurance spokeswoman was pleased to be able to offer a service that catered for the specific needs of women drivers so well. They went on to add that even the roadside recovery agents used would be able to find the driver by tracking their mobile phone and would be equipped with child friendly vehicles that included things to entertain the children.
Hastings Direct has been fined GBP735,000 by the FSA (Financial Services Authority) for treating its customers unfairly. The car insurance company was found to have cancelled over 4,500 policies following a pricing error.
The problem was caused by the Hastings Direct car insurance quotation system, which generated quotes that were lower than the market rate. The insurer then decided to cancel these policies, a step that was not acceptable according to the FSA.
Although a cancellation clause was included within the policies the FSA felt that Hastings Direct should have considered other options first rather than invoking the cancellations. They believe that it is not acceptable to cancel cover because of what is simply a pricing error.
According to a new survey by Liverpool Victoria motorists are finding car repairs too difficult to undertake with modern cars.
Around 33 percent of drivers find the lights and information on their dashboards confusing, while some 75 percent feel that, in the event of a vehicle breakdown, they would be unable to repair the car themselves. Such is the way with modern cars that almost 50 percent of people in the Liverpool Victoria survey have no idea what is under the bonnet, since they rarely if ever open them.
The results of the survey highlight firstly the need for breakdown cover since most car drivers need that roadside assistance and also that car insurance cover may well become more expensive as items are not repaired but replaced.
